“I have my own style, maybe it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I like clothes that are loose and comfy and have big patterns on them

Student Gracie has been on the hit ITV1 dating show for ten weeks but has yet to be selected by a bloke.

Gracie has won an army of fans for her witty one-liners and thick-rimmed black specs.

Now, she has gone from geek to chic in a stunning Daily Star Sunday makeover – giving her the glam look she’s always wanted.

Gracie, 21, said: “I have my own style, maybe it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I like clothes that are loose and comfy and have big patterns on them.

“It’s probably not the sexiest style out there. But I do love this glamorous new look – I’ll be fighting the men off!”

Gracie confessed she’s been on the receiving end of Twitter abuse over her looks since appearing on the Saturday night show.

She said: “One girl sent me a message saying I looked like a sack of potatoes but I don’t let people like that get to me. I laugh it off.”

The hit series, hosted by Paddy McGuinness, 38, sees a guy try to impress 30 girls who turn out lights as they lose interest.

Gracie is yet to turn her light off.

She said: “If people think I’m desperate because I leave my light on until the end all the time I’m not bothered – the whole point is to get a date. It’s just a bit of fun.

“Most of the time I’m seen as the funny girl anyway. I don’t ever get asked out by guys. They tend to see me more as a mate. But I’m happy to be single.” And the Yorkshire lass said she never thought she would be selected for the programme because she wasn’t “sexy” enough.

She added: “All the other girls were so beautiful and glamorous. I thought compared to them I looked a bit plain and didn’t stand out.

“I couldn’t believe it when they called and said they wanted me on.”

And it was just the cure Gracie needed, after applying for the show a week after splitting from her long-term love.

She added: “I’ve had one boyfriend and we were together about five years. A week after we split up one of my friends suggested I go on Take Me Out.
